Android users might only have to wait until Tuesday to get their hands on the native version of catch-up service Foxtel Go, if a slip of the tongue by one of the company’s technical support guys is to be believed.
Ausdroid’s Scott Plowman cottoned on to the fact after reading the following tweet from Tech Webcast:
Foxtel go will be out on Tuesday for mac and pc and samsung phones.

After asking for more info, Plowman was informed that the information had been supplied by a “Foxtel tech guy”.
Unfortunately, trying to get confirmation from Foxtel turned up nothing:
@Montalbert We’re hoping to release it very soon, keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates!

Foxtel Go on iOS has been available since last year, when Luke Hopewell over at Gizmodo AU had a look at it (and came away impressed). Hopefully the Tuesday release turns out to be true, it’s not like we’ve been waiting long for it at all…

The wait has been outrageous. Frankly I’m about ready to burn down every Apple store and put every Apple user against the wall.
I’m desperately waiting for the day that they let us use this without a residential Foxtel subscription.
Windows phone too please! 🙂
And they’re still sticking with their Samsung exclusive deal? So non-Samsung users have to download the app some other way and manually install it like they did with their Olympics app?
Question – can u use the iOS version with a Telstra Tbox subscription?
How much does a Foxtel Go subscription cost compared to a normal Foxtel subscription?
AFAIK this is a free bonus to use that you get with a residential subscription, not something you subscribe to separately.
